Sew your strips together dark to light, four strip to one block. I found it necessary to lay all the blocks out so I could arrange and rearrange until I was happy with how they looked.

Cut your black strips: 2 at 44½, 2 at 46½ and attach.

I used two different batiques for my outer borders to mimic the rainbow and I mitred them to continue the diagonal feel of the quilt.

Since this is the first time I've ever mitred a corner, I'm not going to try to tell you how to do that. This is the video I used to learn the technique. After that all that's left is to quilt and bind the quilt as you see fit.

Best Buys: My Aunt chose the backing fabric, a cute purple wavy stripe with a gold tinge. It was on sale at Fabricland for $5/meter! The rest of the fabric was gifted to me. Yay for shoeboxes full of scraps!

Lessons Learned / To Learn: My edges are wavy and I'm not sure why. I'd love to figure out what went wrong so I can avoid this for the future. I haven't decided if I am going to wash this quilt. I'm planning to hang it.
